This is my Bio... I am Nancy Vazquez born and raise in Newark New Jersey. I am from a divorced
family. I am one out of 3 girls. I grew up in a domestic violence household where my father was very abusive and thought nothing about beating up ( abusing) my Mom, myself and my sisters almost daily....My father was a drug addict at that time. I grew up knowing that my mom sacrificed her dreams, happiness and life to
became a punching bag for my father and to protect her daughters. After years of suffering finally my Mom was able to get away from my father and after many trials and tribulations she was able to started a new with her daughters. My father moved to Puerto
Rico and many years later got the help he needed. My mom is remarried now but she still has permanent scars of her abusive past. After seeing all that my mom , sisters and I went through ....and so much more. I knew that I wanted to make a change in this world. I studied acting for years but it wasn’t enough I had a stories to tell but I didn’t want to tell a story without a solution. I knew undoubtedly that I was yearning to save lives and start conversations about abuse so know child, person or Mother should have to endure the pain, suffering, nightmares that I lived thru.
I also worked as a skycap at Newark Airport for 25 years just retired alongside being apart of Union 32BJ. I was honored to help Bargain The contract for
the airports in the Tri-State area which affected 7,000 employees to raise minimum wages to living

Hillary Clinton and had the privilege of sharing my story with her . I’ve Met with Al Sharpton and spoke at his
National Action Network in Harlem. In this
lifetime I want to help people make a better life for themselves. I believe that we are as strong as our weakest link and we are all interdependent. I choose to tell my stories, Through the medium of Film/TV/Cinema and create a greater platform for change.
